Chainsaws, Tight spot, Tough Trees & Heavy equipment - What could go Wrong?
What happens here
The video begins with an introduction to the project: cutting down a large tree that is leaning precariously towards a shed and a barn. The presenter introduces the heavy equipment to be used, specifically a white Bobcat S185 skid steer, and various Makita chainsaws. He also highlights a new attachment for the skid steer called 'the Beak,' explaining its utility. The inherent dangers of felling a tree that is already leaning in an undesirable direction are discussed, emphasizing the need for careful planning and execution.
Goal: Understand the project scope and assess the tree's leaning condition.
